   [I don't care much for the pop culture aspects, or about linguistics of the Klingon language, but this is very interesting to me from an anthropological point of view, because of the continued existence of Klingon a constructed language around the world]

     @h I have never before realized this, but Klingon, by not sharing a direct heritage with any pre-existing human language, rather subverting the most common aspects of them, may have a greater claim to internationality than the Internacia Lingvo itself.

     @h @ryusei I would be interested to know what Klingonists think of the Klingon pronunciation and prosody sounds in ST:DIS.
     
     I can't say that I know any Klingon, but to my untrained ear it sounds slow and guttural compared to e.g. how Christopher Lloyd spoke it.
